RAS MOHAMMED

South of Sharm el-Sheikh the coast is totally deserted, with no shelter for more then a mile up to the small bay named Marsa Ghazlani, where the Ras Mohammed National Park begins. This is followed by another bay, Marsa Bareika, which is much larger and deeper.
It penetrates the land for 2.8 miles, forming the Ras Mohammed peninsula, which extends south-eastwards into the Red Sea for almost 5 miles and separates the gulf of Aqaba from the Gulf of Suez.

The eastern coast of the Ras Mohammed peninsula is comprised of a tall fossil coral reef that is interrupted for a few dozen meters by the only accessible beach in the area, Aqaba Beach, and ends at the Ras Mohammed Headland - Mohammed's Cape in Arabic, because its profile is like the bearded one of the prophet. The rocky spur is about 50 meters high; on top of it is the Shark Observatory balcony.

On the southern side of the peninsula there are three beaches - Shark Observatory Beach, Main Beach and Yolanda Beach - the sandy, shallow Hidden Bay, whose mouth is completely blocked by a long coral reef, and Mangrove Island, an islet with a small beacon, separated from the rest of the peninsula by the Mangrove Channel with its numerous mangroves (Avicenia marina). The western side of the peninsula is low and sandy, and its sole attraction is the only mooring, which is well sheltered, in the area on a level with the half-submerged remains of an old jetty known as The Quay.

Because of its geographic position the Ras Mohammed peninsula is a privileged area famous for its strong massive currents which transport large quantities of plankton and other food. With so much food in the water there's to an extraordinary growth of hard and soft corals and huge schools of both reef and pelagic marine are attracted. Given the great abundance of food, barracuda, Jackfish, tuna, and sharks swarm in these waters, offering divers the chance to make very exciting dives, especially from June to August. The classic diving sites begin at the southern tip of Marsa Bareika, known as Ras Za'atar, and continue along the eastern coast with Jackfish Alley, Eel Garden and Shark Observatory (also known as Ras Mohammed Wall), and at the southern end of the peninsula with Anemone City, Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef.
